I tried to make the background on this page from a microscopic view of rhabdomyosarcoma. It was so disgusting and ugly, I opted to give you this restful star field instead. I'll include a small picture at the bottom of this page, so you can see what I mean. I've liked having the image; it helped me get a mental picture of the monster Joseph was fighting.I put up this page so that anyone researching rhabdo can find to the best resources immediately, without having to poke around through the search engines. Knowledge is power, get all of it you can.
